Print edition in support of LA artists affected by the LA Fires

White Label Editions for Grief and Hope
Grief and Hope A group of volunteers, including artists, gallery employees, and cultural workers in Los Angeles, is responding to the devastation caused by recent wildfires that have severely affected neighborhoods home to many in the city's creative community. The fires, fueled by Santa Ana winds, have left numerous artists and cultural workers homeless or without their studios. The amount raised will be used to support those impacted by the Eaton, Palisades, Sunset, and other fires. The funds will be distributed to artists and art workers who have lost their homes or workspaces. This fundraiser was organized in response to requests for guidance from those outside of Los Angeles who want to help directly. The group plans to match funds and contributions according to the greatest needs of those affected. The effort is led by Kathryn Andrews, Andrea Bowers, Olivia Gauthier, Julia V. Hendrickson, and Ariel Pittman, who express their commitment to community care, hope, and solidarity in the face of overwhelming loss.

Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film

LACMA
Over the last four decades, image-editing software has radically transformed our visual world. The ease with which images and text can be digitally generated and altered has enabled new forms of creative experimentation, while also sparking philosophical debates about the very nature of representation. Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film examines the impact of digital manipulation tools from the 1980s to the present, for the first time assessing simultaneous developments and debates in the fields of photography, graphic design, and visual effects. Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition traces the emergence of distinctive digital aesthetic strategies, relationships to realism, and storytelling modes. The nearly 200 artists, designers, and makers in Digital Witness illuminate today's visual culture where digital editing tools are easier to access than ever before.

Digital Capture Southern California and the Pixel-Based Image World

California Museum of Photography and Culver Center of the Arts
Digital Capture: Southern California and the Pixel-Based Image World is an ambitious exhibition spanning six decades (1962–2020s) that investigates the history and creative uses of digital imaging technology, from the genesis of digital imaging in Southern California research laboratories during the Cold War and Space Race of the 1960s, to the ubiquity of digital media in our contemporary world. The exhibition and accompanying digital publication narrate the ideological shifts that occurred as digital technologies were adopted for artistic ends. Conceptually organized into themes exploring issues of agency, representation, culpability, and connection, Digital Capture features over 40 artists working across several technological, computing, and imaging media.
